Kitchens remain the most popular renovation project. It’s very involved, both in terms of cost and project scale. So, before you hire an Abbeville kitchen remodeler and start bashing down walls, there are some important things to consider and prepare: setting a budget, determining what you want, and planning how it will all fit.

Setting Your Budget:

The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in your house. It’s where we spend so much time and create memories with our loved ones, but it can also be an expensive investment if not planned out properly beforehand! Make sure you have enough funds set aside before starting any renovations because unexpected expenses tend to come along once they’re underway – just like how adding 10-20% onto what was originally budgeted will help ensure that you don’t end up with a half-finished kitchen.

Research:

You can ask your remodeling contractor, like us, to help you visit kitchen showrooms and home stores to figure out the cost of items, and then figure out what you need and what you can afford. Ask your neighbors to see their kitchen layouts and renovations to come up with ideas.

Consider Hidden Costs:

Factor in: the cost of labor, materials, taxes, and any shipping or delivery costs that might come up. These add up very quickly, so it’s important to take them into account from the very beginning when budgeting. Consider if there are any steps along the way that you would like to DIY. Even a few tasks can save a significant amount of your budget

Aim for Quality:

Always buy the best quality materials your budget allows. In kitchen remodeling, you want to have a high-quality, functional kitchen, both for your personal use and for potential resale value. High-quality cabinets, countertops, and appliances will last much longer, helping you reduce the chance of having to do another renovation in the future.

Consider used materials – for example, try repurposing or painting older cabinets bought from a business that sells reused building materials. You can also find high-end items from individual sellers online.

Evaluate Your Needs vs. Wants:

Don’t buy unnecessary items. It can be tempting to buy all sorts of fancy appliances, but it’s better to go with the reliable basics that you’ll use. Remember, with every new appliance comes a slightly higher utility bill. They also add to your upkeep responsibilities and require time and money to maintain.

Planning a Kitchen Layout:

The kitchen needs to be practical and functional. Think about how you use your current kitchen to identify what your priorities should be. What works and what doesn’t in your current setup? Will the kitchen be used a lot for cooking? Will you entertain a lot? 

Whenever possible, make use of the classic work triangle. Arrange your sink, refrigerator, and stove in a triangular pattern. This is generally considered to be the most convenient setup because it saves unnecessary steps.

Also, think about how many people usually work in the kitchen at the same time. If it’s more than one, you might want to incorporate more than one workstation. Or, if there’s enough space, consider a kitchen island.

Kitchen Space Planning:

One thing our kitchen remodeling team does is make sure things are laid out to ensure proper safety, but it’s up to you to plan for convenience. Here are a few things to remember when mapping out your space:

• Counters: Plan to have at least 36 inches of counter space for food preparation, with at least 24 inches on one side of the sink and 18 inches on the other. If you can fit more, we recommend it.
• Appliances: Leave adequate floor space in front of appliances so the doors can be opened and you can still walk in front of them. You’ll need at least 30 to 48 inches. Also, take note of the direction and depth of swinging appliance doors—especially when it comes to the refrigerator. If you plan to have your fridge next to a wall, make sure the door swings in the opposite direction, otherwise the wall may prohibit the door from opening all the way.
• Walkways: Leave enough room for traffic flow. There should be at least 42 inches between the counters and the island so that people can easily walk through without disrupting anyone working at the counters.

Final Considerations Before You Start:
